What's All About Katie All About?
Welcome to All About Katie. This site is an appreciation of Katie Melua - the beautiful and talented singer-songwriter with the caramel eyes and sublime voice, and the finest interpreter of a song I have ever heard.
It is also a repository of information about her music, DVDs, videos, tour dates, images, and anything else of interest to her fans. I have put my heart and soul into this project. Katie has given me so much and this is my way of saying thank-you. I hope Ketefans all over the world will find something interesting here about our favourite artist. Enjoy!
Any opinions expressed here are mine, not Katie's!!

I' rather poorly at the moment :-( Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
25.09.18 > Sold Out! Katie's Get Loud gig for Nordoff Robbins
Katie Melua says: “Being part of Get Loud 2018 for Nordoff Robbins really excites me. Not only because I get to share an intimate gigging experience with fans of my music, but it also gives me a chance to champion a charity I have supported for many years, their musical therapy work across the UK is life changing.”

24.09.18 > Covers Wish List
Although I always long for more new material from Katie, her covers always entrance me. She always seems to find her own unique interpretation of a song (aside from Fields of Gold, which she deliberately styled on the Eva Cassidy version in homage to one of her idols).
From time to time I make little wish-lists of songs I would like to hear Katie cover. These lists are often completely different, not because I change my mind but because I suddenly remember other songs or hear them on the radio and then drift off into dreamland wondering how a Katie version would sound. Here are the ones I have been imagining lately...
As Time Goes By (from "Casablanca")
Morning Has Broken (Cat Stevens)
Winterwood (Don McLean)
New England (Kirsty MacColl version)
Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (The Carpenters. Yes, really.)
